「翔平に出会えた俺たちって幸せ者だよな…」レッズ大ファンのチャーリー・シーンが大谷に激惚れww【日本語字幕】

for Unicorn. Fore we got to meet there. And you’re such a diehard baseball fan. I I’ll be honest with you. I had no idea your team is the Reds. Oh yeah. has been for the last what’s today? Yeah. The last 50 years. Yeah. No kidding. How about that? No. No. And you you showed me you got a you got the Cincinnati logo on your right forearm right there. I can see that. It’s a little faded. So, what do you make of Otani Charlie when you see him, man? I mean, he’s we’ve never seen anybody like him, right? No. It’s when they say a unicorn, it’s it’s an understatement. You know what what’s I mean what’s the next example or you know analogy that’s more unique than a unicorn. I I don’t whatever that is. It’s him, right? Yeah. An invisible unicorn. I mean I don’t know. Or maybe they’re all invisible which is why we never see them. That could be it. He’s a visible unicorn. That’s the one. I think we finally landed on it here. No, it’s a skill set. It’s a it’s a it’s just it’s it’s just it’s a it’s it’s at a different level, you know. It’s wow. And and yeah, I I think you know that that we are blessed granted with this at least for the next what 15 years. Seems like it maybe 20. It seems like like he could play forever. Certainly if he’s just dhing and and he’s going to pitch game one of the against the Phillies. Oh boy. They announced it already. Wow. I know. He’s gonna it’s going to be his first playoff pitching appearance because we saw last year he didn’t even pitch and the Dodgers went ahead and won the World Series with them. Yeah. Interesting. And because he got injured, um, was it game two or was it or was it a little bit later? Cuz he wasn’t that much of a factor in that series, right? You know, last year. Yeah, correct. He was Yeah, he was banged up. Now he’s he’s ready to roll. It’s unbelievable. But I mean, why not just put him on why not just bonds him and no matter what? No matter what. Well, the issue is there’s bets in Freeman. Yeah. If you bonds him, you know, like it was at one point, I think it was I think it was the night that Kershaw finished up his um his regular season pitching career in Dodger Stadium the other night um that Freeman uh it was Betts and Otani on the base paths and Freeman at the plate. Freeman knocks in Otani and sends Betts from first to third. And there was a shot of all three of them running the base pass. And I’m like, that’s a half a billion dollars running the pass, you know, like just onethird of their team. Sure. You know what I mean? Yeah. And so it that’s why I guess you don’t bonds him is those two are behind. And if Hernandez is going to hit two home runs like he did last night, right? That’s the issue of bond. But it’s a great idea. Who would the player be that you would want to catch a home run ball that you would buy out an entire section of a stadium? And obviously it wouldn’t be as inexpensive as $7,000. Which player would it be? It would be 50 or 60 um if not 100, right? Um well, the problem with Otani is the power to all fields. You can’t. So you’d buy out like the whole thing and right judge power all fields. Exactly. I think a guy you could you could u predictably or at least hopefully wind up in in in his his the gun sights of his bat would be uh Schwarber. I would call I was literally about to say the problem is sometimes you have to buy the outside part of the stadium as well depending on which stadium you choose. But the higher you get the cheaper it gets. So now we’re back into the 1520 range like third level right field. Stan I’ll start you off with a hard question here. How is the year going for you? It’s like every year we’re with the Dodgers, so every year is great. We’re blessed with the passionate and loyal uh support of an extraordinary fan base uh in a hundred ways. And it’s because of that support that we’re able to continue to put a product on the field and in the community and at the stadium that works for all of our fans. Has the season kind of gone as you expected it to go? No season ever does. Uh we had more injuries than we ever could have forecast. We also have guys coming back at a time that is convenient, at a time that works because it seems like we’re going to be in a good place getting into October. So, uh you can’t predict anything about sports, but certainly not about an entire 162 game season. That’s just the nature of what we do. Attendance has been strong this year. Yeah, we’re going to uh get to 4 million people for the first time in the history of the Dodgers. So, if that’s any indication of how much our fans are supporting us, we we really welcome that. Let’s talk about team building a little bit. I was reminded that at the beginning of the year, focus on pitching. I was looking at your roster and I was like, “All right, you’ve got three Japanese pitchers and Yamamoto and Shi, although he was injured at the beginning of the year, and Rory Sasaki, like they all might be starters or definitely starters. And then you had Blake Snell, who was injured, but he’s a starter. And Clayton Kershaw and Tyler Glasnau, and he’s a starter. And then, you know, I was like, well, you’ve got like Ganson and May, and they might be starters. I was like, I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a roster with so many starting pitchers. And yet, there were times this year that you were legitimately thin on starting pitching. It’s a truism in baseball. Pitchers break. And if you told me at the start of the year, I’ve got five starters, I would tell you, great. I only need five more and then I have a chance. That’s just the nature of the sport. 162 games. I don’t know who came up with that number, but that’s a lot of games and that’s a lot of pitching uh that has to survive an entire season. So, I think the way it works out, we’re going to get to October with a really good, deep, healthy uh staff, but that’s because it took all of those bodies to get us down to this. But it didn’t used to be like that. It used to be that pitchers could go 200 innings. And it wasn’t all that uncommon to have basically the five pitchers that started the year be the five starting pitchers that ended the year. A lot of things in our game has changed. Two generations ago, batters went into the box and swung at the first or second pitch. Uh we had fewer strikeouts. The game is different now. We don’t even teach that game. We teach batters to grind the at bat, to wear the pitcher down. Um because of that, we now have pitchers coming out of the bullpen, all of whom are throwing 98 plus. It’s it’s a new game and we have new players playing it in that new way. So we have evolved the way the game has evolved. Is it good for the game to have 10 pitchers on the IIL at a given time? That’s not good for the game or for the pitchers. U but the game has never been stronger and healthier. So that’s what’s most important. We’ve never had more attendance throughout our sport. We have never had more viewers across all of our platforms. So the business of the sport is really good. Um we have to definitely figure out the health aspect because that’s a concern to all of it. It’s concern to teams. It’s a concern to the union and and to the league. It’s a concern for our fans. So, we are doing a lot of work on that. We have not figured that out yet. But the sport is continuing to grow and thrive. Are there hypothetical rule changes that make sense? Maybe we’re we’re expanding uh uh our research into all of those areas. We’ll do what we think we need to do. um one of the small rule changes which is not specifically about health but uh limiting relief pictures or or requiring three batters. Okay, that was a little thing we could do. That was at the at the fringes. We can do more once we conclude what the problems are and there’s still an awful lot of disagreement even in the medical community about what can be done or what needs to be done or even maybe what the problem is. Do you think there’s agreement on that? For sure. Uh uh Jeff Passen, great baseball writer, wrote a book a couple years ago called The Arm. And what I took away from that book, which I’ve read almost three times now, is that we don’t know. You know, all that we know, we still don’t know. And uh that’s the state of our intelligence on that subject as of right now. We’ve seen some uh very positive rule changes for Major League Baseball that I think has increased TV ratings. It perhaps speaks to the attendance jump. I don’t know if you think there are other reasons why this year besides just the popularity of the Dodgers, but I think it’s a new era with a lot more ways to reach fans. Social media has consumed everything we do and certainly sports is is a leader in what it has consumed. We have a lot of different ways to reach fans and to deliver content to fans that didn’t exist a generation ago. That is a big part of it. Uh we have great new young exciting players from a lot of countries that no one dreamed about a generation or two ago and we can deliver that more so there are more eyeballs tuning in for that social media has amplified uh do you think that affects inerson attendance the international it does yeah I I mean just the way I think that advertising helps the products that they are advertising exposure of our game affects our attendance for Sure. Also though, we don’t take it for granted. We have invested a lot in the instadium experience. Uh we’re never going to be a new stadium. We’re 60 plus years old. Uh but we can make it a 21st century amenityfilled experience. And that’s what we have tried to do. And again, we’re going to have more fans this year than we’ve ever had before. So that is a vote of confidence that our fans continue to express in us. Couple show Otani questions for you. Is there a way that you can quantify the business impact that show has had on the Dodgers? Like is there a number? There are many numbers. None of which I will share publicly. But yes, um all I can say is it it exceeded everything that we anticip and we anticipated a lot. We didn’t know would have this kind of impact. But more importantly, not just for the Dodgers, the impact it has had for Major League Baseball. combination of the Dodgers longstanding legacy and stature in the sport combined with this new found celebrity of of the the most popular global baseball player right now has really propelled interest in our game not just domestically which it has but increasingly around the world and that’s a great opportunity uh for baseball to capitalize on. We’ve had our eye on greater internationalization for a decade or two. This has really given us um a a heads up, a leg up on the next thing that we can do, not just in Japan, not just in Korea, where we also have had players from, but increasingly around the world where baseball is reaching out. You’ve seen all that baseball in Europe for the last few years that is continuing. We have our eyes on the Indian subcontinent because of their affinity for cricket and the similarities to baseball. So this newfound attention that baseball is having because of the show phenomenon. Yes, it has impacted us tremendously. Uh but it’s been an even bigger impact for baseball. Another Otani question because you kind of led right into it which is that you said he exceeded your expectations. You tried to sign show whatever that was seven years ago or so at that point and he said no and he signed with the Angels. Then you got to him this time. What has surprised you the most about what your expectations were when you signed him to what actually has happened? Well, there there’s two things two ways I’ll answer. First, the business side is obviously it has increased our revenues. Ticketing sponsorships. You look around our state and we have a lot of new sponsors that weren’t candidates for sponsorship a few years ago because we have a lot of foreign international sponsors. So that has been helpful. Um you can’t walk around this stadium any time of day any day of the year without running into a group. Um and we have four different languages uh for our groups. Uh every day of the year we have business coming in. Uh I’ve heard a number that 30% of the visitors to Los Angeles from Japan make a stop at Dodger Stadia. Uh so those are some of the business things. Um one of the things we learned after the news broke in Korea about the swindle of his uh of his translator was we didn’t know all the things about Shi that we know now. Once that wall came down before then we were being told show he doesn’t want this show he doesn’t want that it really never was about show it was it what the translator didn’t want we just didn’t know that once once he left all of a sudden and that wall came down we realized what a funny guy he is what a fun guy he is what a cooperative guy he is what a great teammate he is there’s not a player on our team who doesn’t love him as a teammate no one who works harder and a lot of those things we didn’t know uh when we signed him, we were going to sign him anyway because just what he does on the field uh is amazing. Uh but we’ve learned that subsequent and he’s just been fantastic. I mentioned Yamamoto and Sasaki also. I’m curious, have you learned anything about international scouting or player evaluation? I was in the league when uh Ichiro came over. Until then, we didn’t know that a position player could make it in the major leagues. We didn’t. and it was an interesting thing to watch. Turns out he could be the best player in the game and go to the Hall of Fame even after a Hall of Fame career over there. So, I think it’s just more reinforcement that their quality uh over there in in uh Asian countries particularly in uh in Japan and Korea also in in Taiwan. Um they have players who can play over here. We’re just spending more time and resources because all of us are greedy. all of us in in baseball, we’re all looking for the next best thing. Uh and so we’re out there scouting more so than we did in the past, but it’s just reinforcing what we’ve known now, at least since the time of Israel arriving. So Roki Sasaki, who was tremendous at the end of the game, if you watch him, the fast ball was triple digits. Uh the splitter was just a joke. I mean, that thing would just disappear on guys. He is the closer now. Can he pitch? He’s He comes from a world where he pitches six days a week, right? And throws on the third day. Can he pitch backtoback days? I don’t know. Do you want to use him for seven outs? Is that the up and down? One one thing that’s been happening in these playoffs, and I was very happy to see last night Dave Roberts let Yoshi Yamamoto go his careerhigh in pitches. I think he had like 115. These managers, all of them are leaving the starters in longer. Yes. And I think that’s a good weapon. I mean, show if he’s if he’s humming in Philadelphia, I’m not taking him out. No, I mean, he’s going to go. They’re going to let him go. Uh, and by the way, Show’s pitching on Saturday. Last four starts for Show. 19 and 2/3 innings, one earned run, four walks, and 27 strikeouts. Why would you want to take that guy out? Yeah. I mean there’s look and you’ve said you’ve said all along no no when it comes to Otani you have to listen to the doctors put him on a pitch limit I’m no everything they did was right to build up to this to build up to this prepare him for this so 100% all your restrictions are off off good so you can come around to my position on this I mean ultimately this is why they pitched him one inning one inning two innings two innings three innings three innings four so that he they could stretch him out now I don’t know if he’s a hundred pitches I don’t know if they go that far with Otani But if he’s thrown well, you go certainly as long as you possibly can avoid the bull like you did last night. You know, uh uh Yamamoto gave up some runs early and those were really Tay Oscar Hernandez. Hernandez. Yeah, those were unmas got the runs back later was a big hit. But um Yamamoto once he settled in was they weren’t hitting him. Yeah. And um by the way, and I was actually glad in the seventh inning he put two runners on with nobody out and I went crap, Dave’s going to take him out. And he did. Well, it’s a very comfortable lead. Yeah, but you let them work through it, which I liked. Yeah. I mean, I think that’s the key. I I think I said at the beginning of the playoffs, the most important thing for the Dodgers to do is mash. They’ve got to mash. And they did in this series. They scored 10 runs. They scored eight 18 runs in two games for the Dodgers. By the way, you mentioned Yoshi Yamamoto. I I’ve got a number on him. He has in his last six six starts he’s got a66 erra. Last six starts 0.66 erra. Uh Brian Cohen was your take on what you saw last night. I will say I was very impressed with Sasaki to close out that game. That was one of the things that you know the bullpen kind of again sheen yes that whole thing but then once Sasaki came in it kind of put it at ease. I was like oh you know what he should be closing out every game of the playoffs. I’m with that. You know what I like about him is he’s all arms and legs. Do you notice that? I mean, he’s Yeah. But it but now that now that he’s got his, you know, he was hurt and he it affected his delivery and one of the Dodger pitching coaches noticed that he was dipping his shoulder to accommodate for the injury and that was screwing up his rotation. And now that his shoulder’s good. Yeah. He’s he’s right there. Yeah. Yeah. And he was I mean he pitches like a closer, that’s for sure. Uh, and I, you know, and I do, I think these are the two best teams in Major League Baseball. To me, they are the two best teams in Major League Baseball. Both are loaded. I think the Dodgers get an advantage in starting lineup. Uh, it’s close, but I would give the Dodgers an advantage there. Phillies have a good balance lineup. Trey Turner is back. We’ll see what he can do with his hamstring injury. So, they have said he’s going to play, but he hasn’t played in like a month. He is going to play. uh the hamstring it’s gonna he may not be full strength Trey Turner. Okay. Uh but if you if you look at their their lineup is actually you know Trey Turner, Kyle Schwarber, Bryce Harper that’s as good a two3 as you can get if if Turner is is healthy. It’s not as good as Otani Bets and Freeman. Of course not. Yeah. I mean I know that’s very formidable. No. But like last night I I I understand why they did it. I don’t fault the Reds for doing this, but I said Mookie Bets is the Dodgers hottest hitter, and you just walked Shoi Otani on purpose. I understand you don’t want to pitch to Show, but you just gave Muki, who’s white hot and had four hits yesterday, a bases loaded situation where you have to throw him strikes, I wouldn’t have done that. Oh, out of curios. So, you would have in that scenario pitched to Show? I would have because of how hot Muki is and you have first base open. So what I would have done I would have done the unintentional intentional walk. Oh, so you pitched I would have pitched show outside of the zone. See if he would have chased but by walking him Muki knew you couldn’t afford to walk him and he just sat on a strike. Always kind of a oh yeah, you’re going to intentionally walk that guy and get to and later they intentionally walk Freeman to get to Teao and Teao’s been hot. Yeah. I mean, you know, they have in terms of what they’re doing at the plate right now, they are as good as they’ve been all year. Their manager, Dave Roberts, announced that Show Otani will pitch game one of that DS against the Phillies. What do we expect in what will be the most anticipated start that we’ve seen in a long time? Greeny, total dominance based on how Otani finished the season. Think about this. in his last four starts, 19 and two/3 innings, one run allowed, four walks, and 27 strikeouts. All year, the Dodgers had this long, slow ramp up of Otani’s pitch count, and man, it has paid off. They wanted to get ready for October. That’s exactly where we are. Look, I know you covered Michael Jordan and he might be the greatest ever. I know that every time we see Show Otani play, we have to remind oursel how unique he is. The greatest baseball player we’ve ever seen. Everything he does as a hitter and as a pitcher. Yeah, they come along once a century like Show Otan.
